Go to:

to hear the COMPLETE version of "YCSTB" from the film including John and Amanda's lines.
Also go to the
MTI "Hairspray" Salon's
game section to hear some of the Tracy Triplets' version of "Mama..."
By the way Mateo, are Velma and Amber no singing in YCSTB??!
YES! I'm dying to hear Amanda's part in You Can't Stop the Beat.
So cinematic, I love it. Very smart making Penny's solo a duet. I am excited for this movie.

I really don't care for Travolta, here or in the released Welcome to the 60s clip. George Wendt or John Goodman would have played it far better, and Travolta's not really a box office draw anymore. Oh well. The kids are great.
Amanda sounds alright. Very cute sounding - not much of the spunk I think the character should express at this point. But I'll way to see the film to make a real judgment.
I love Edna's Cher-esque voice and when you see her in action with her dance solo -its just phenomenal.
I love the "Bells" and "Good Morning Baltimore" orchestrations at the end.
That's exactly what you said on IMDB Mateo!! lol :)
The orchestrations are fantastic! wow.
"I really don't care for Travolta, here or in the released Welcome to the 60s clip. George Wendt or John Goodman would have played it far better, and Travolta's not really a box office draw anymore. Oh well. The kids are great."
I can't really see JOhn Goodman singing/playing it.
I can't believe the Von Tussle Girls don't sing here!!
It is! Because that's how i feel. :)
Oooo . . . I LOVE the orchestrations and the add on to the song. I also love Nikki and Zac's part and Queen Latifah sounds great. John and Amanda . . . not liking it that much. But, I will reserve my "full opinion" until after I see the movie.
Off Topic . . . Mateo, I LOVE the new avatar. GHOST WORLD is one of my favorite movies.
Ok, I just listened to it again and I like it better this time around. I think it was just the shock of it being slightly different than the OBC recording. CAN'T WAIT until the movie comes out.
OT - thanks! its my fav movie by far.
I was writing a musical version of it about 5 years ago- and lost everything in a comp crash.
What do you guys think of "Mama..." from MTI??
Damn, the song stops loading about 1/3 through. I guess I'll just look for it in other places.

OMG, it's so cute, even though I still think Zac Effron sucks.
Amanda's decent, but it's hard to go from Kerry Butler to her. Haha.
I have been VERY surprised by Zac and I think he is going to be a GREAT Link. He kicks serious budunka dunk in "Ladies Choice."
I'm no Zac Efrom fan, but I think him as Link is pretty perfect casting. I agree that he kicks ass in "Ladies Choice."
Jacob, the song I was talking about was "You Can't Stop the Beat."

He's decent in "Ladies' Choice" but that isn't exactly a really hard song to sing. He sounds terrible in "Without Love," a song that showcases vocals more.
The only problem I have with "Ladies Choice" (and it's not even really a "problem") is that the vocals sound computerized in a way. I know he didn't have pitch correction, because Marc said so, but it sounds a little computerized. I am not really a Zac Efron fan either (I haven't seen or heard enough from him to really form an opinion about him), but so far I like what I hear and see from him in this movie.
I guess we have to agree to disagree.
Anyway... how about dem Tracy's in "Mama..."
I can't find it. I went to the "fun" section and didn't see or hear anything regarding the song.
It should be at the very bottom of the "Games" section.
Not crazy about Amanda and John at all. However, I will wait to make a decision on them until after I see the movie.
I don't dislike Zac, but I'm not crazy about him either. Ladies Choice seems fun enough, if not a bit generic. I keep thinking of Born to hand jive.
